赋格曲

Pablo Larrain's sleek debut feature, screened at the Montreal World Film Festival earlier this fall, is"a musical opus of death and immortality. Prodigious Eliseo Montalbán (Benjamín Vicuña) composes a symphony based on the notes struck by the lifeless hand of his sister [when she] was murdered atop a piano. But when his female pianist dies during the work's first performance, Eliseo goes mad, destroys his score and retreats into obscurity.

What results is a cat–and–mouse game through the human psyche and the originality of creation"
